Description
New Medical School Planned in Stockton
University of the Pacific has announced a historic expansion, with plans to open a new school of medicine at its Stockton campus. The program is expected to welcome its first cohort of students in 2030, and will be the first M.D.-granting institution outside of the Bay Area, Sacramento region and Southern California. It also aims to address a chronic shortage of medical professionals in the Central Valley. Pacific President Christopher Callahan and Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom join Insight to talk about what the impact of this new school will be for the Central Valley and beyond.
Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Steyer
A crowded field of candidates is still vying for the chance to become California’s next governor, with the primary election looming. One Democratic candidate has poured in a record-breaking amount of money for broadcast advertisements to try and secure a spot in the top-two primary, billionaire Tom Steyer. A former hedge fund manager and 2020 presidential candidate, Steyer’s political experience has largely been as a fundraiser for Democratic campaigns as well as liberal or progressive causes. And he is one of the Democratic frontrunners in the 2026 California gubernatorial race, touting a progressive platform. Vicki spoke with Steyer about his plans to address California’s issues and how he interprets the “billionaire” label differently from his critics.
Insight has reached out to all eight gubernatorial candidates. You can find our ongoing interviews here.
